Indiana @ Brooklyn

Current Records: Indiana 12-12; Brooklyn 14-12

What to Know

This Wednesday, the Brooklyn Nets are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 118.38 points per game. They are getting right back to it as they host the Indiana Pacers at 8 p.m. ET Feb. 10 at Barclays Center. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

The contest between the Nets and the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday was not particularly close, with Brooklyn falling 122-111. The losing side was boosted by shooting guard James Harden, who dropped a double-double on 24 points and 12 dimes along with six boards.

Meanwhile, it was all tied up 47-47 at halftime, but Indiana was not quite the Utah Jazz's equal in the second half when they met on Sunday. Indiana came up short against Utah, falling 103-95. The top scorers for Indiana were power forward Domantas Sabonis (20 points) and small forward Doug McDermott (18 points).

The Nets are expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Cleveland Cavaliers Jan. 20 easily too and instead slipped up with a 147-135. In other words, don't count the Pacers out just yet.
